This morning seems a very long time ago….
I went to bed early last night to catch up from the night before but Scarlett was awake with a bad dream so I went and collected her and brought her back up to our bed where her prefered sleeping position is lying curled up on top of me on my back (I sleep on my front), which frankly wasn’t totally comfortable when she was teeny tiny and is even less so now she is nearly 5 and probably as heavy as Davies. 🙄
This morning was work for me, which went quick for the first couple of hours but dragged for the last hour or so with lots of stragglers of people not going until bang on 1pm when we shut and several annoying and lengthy photocopying customers to assist with things like blowing up images in colour which meant I spent a lot of time getting the key to do free copies where my first attempts hadn’t worked 😆 I’m a bit crap with the photocopier :oops:.
Home for a quick handover from Lucy. The children seemed fine – Scarlett and Rebecca had played, Davies had X boxed. I got changed and hung some washing out and then we headed off to Slindon to meet Julie, Jack and Maisie for an Autumn Walk. I have some pics but not downloaded from camera yet. It was nice but Scarlett was a bit clingy and annoying for the first 15 minutes or so. We fed the ducks, Julie and I managed some chatting but it felt like one of the four children was lurking and interupting at any one time which made conversation hard. We ended up in the carpark where they finally all went off to play with sticks to have sword fights and then went off ”scovering new fungi’ for which I supplied my camera to Scarlett to photograph their finds.
We left and came home for Davies and Scarlett’s tea watching Charlie and Lola collected from the libarary today. Then Davies and I went to Badgers while Ady and Scarlett played Charlie and Lola games on the website. No idea what Badgers was about but I sat in the car and ate humbugs and read my books so I was happy.
Davies and I chatted about pronounciation of his name and other words which have two ways of saying them; wind, tear, read with some examples. Which then led to jokes and how so many are plays on words that sound the same or have double meanings.
My leg is incredibly colourful with four seperate bruises on it from my gymnastics at swimming yesterday and is actually quite painful but thankfully didn’t stiffen up overnight as I’d feared it might (probably due to not being allowed to lie still for very long :roll:).
Tomorrow is the final one of our Filmeducation films -The Simpsons movie which Ady is dropping us off at to save parking with hopefully a visit from Ali and Freya in the afternoon.
hope your film goes well, I think The Simpsons was just too much for the school crowd when we went there, just hysterical screaming and laughing at *everything*. Well it is funny, but there’s a limit 😉 We’re off to see Charlottes Web today which we’re looking forward to as we’ve just finished the book.

I very helpfully got a letter in the post confirming our various cinema places for last weeks films yesterday 🙁
How they think sending something out on the 8th when the first film is on the 10th with or without a postal strike is going to get to me in time I have no idea.

Went to see Night at the Museum this morning and it was bloody cancelled because there hadnt’ been enough bookings. You’d think that if they look at the bookings and say, “oh, only 5 tickets are booked, let’s cancel it”, then it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to think that it might be nice to let the one person who’s booked know! They’d tell a bloody school.

Urgh that’s outrageous Alison! Complain to filmeducation, that’s the cinema being really crap isn’t it!
We got a phonecall confirming one booking and letters confirming the others this year, well in advance. Last year I didn’t hear anything so I rang them and they confirmed, but I think we did get a really late letter too.

that’s crap Alison, I’d be really annoyed if that was us.

It was the Film education people that cancelled it, the cinema manager said. I’ve had phone calls from them to confirm in the past. This year I didn’t get my letter about yesterday’s film, so I called to check, but it didn’t occur to me to check today’s. Will complain!

Hope you enjoyed the Simpson’s Movie – our kids loved that. We saw Heidi yesterday – brought back happy memories of the weird 70s tv version!
